I'm back on the wagon

So we all know how the weight "wagon" goes. I think I've spent more time in the dirt than actually riding on it, but I think that's pretty typical. As long as I don't decide that it's better in the dust and mud. Well after taking a nice long shower, I've decided to hop back on. Again. I know that my determination will only last as long as I "feel" like it. So, as long as I keep moving in the right direction, I'm moving ahead. I don't know if any of that made sense, but I'm going with it!

Willpower and determination only get you so far. It actually takes work too. Ya know, I spent about 4 months in those Weight Watcher's meetings. I was totally excited and paid my money every month. The thing I didn't get was that you have to do more than that! You actually have to like eat right and exercise. Who knew?

I hadn't been to Jenny Craig in a month due to some financial workings on my part. With gas so stinking high, I was having a hard time justifying the cost. But I went in yesterday and do you know what??? I actually lost over 2 pounds. I also had my councilor take my measurements again. I was down another 7 inches for a total of 12. OK, that's some motivation right there!

So, now I'm back on. I can do this. I will do this. It's hard. But what in life that's worth anything, isn't? I know that I'm gonna quit. A lot. But as long as I get up and decided to start again, then progress will be made. So, here I go again!

That is great Becki! For me it has always been about consistency. I am not good every day or even every week, but i figure as long as I want it and am good most of the time i'll get there. I just started really working out again. It will be a while before i can run a few miles at once, or really push myself like i use to, but my goal is to be fit. so i'll make it even if it takes me a year or more. I am proud of you for continuing and you look great! keep it up. mary
